La Digue Island, Seychelles

---

La Digue Veuve Reserve, also known as the Veuve Special Reserve, is a small protected nature reserve on La Digue Island in Seychelles.

It was created to protect the endangered Seychelles Black Paradise Flycatcher, a rare bird found mainly on La Digue and locally known as the “Veuve.” The reserve features peaceful forest trails, wetland areas, and native vegetation that provide an important habitat for this unique species.

Visitors can enjoy birdwatching, nature walks, and the chance to learn about local conservation efforts while experiencing a quieter, less crowded side of the island. Despite its modest size, the reserve plays a vital role in preserving Seychelles’ biodiversity and is a favorite destination for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.
